Although Antoine Predock's practice is international, his roots are in the American southwest. His architecture draws from the elemental forces in any location, but in the desert it draws from the monolithic topography, expansive cerulean sky, and sparse geometric flora.

This is the first book to put together all of the extraordinary houses designed by Antoine Predock.

Characterized by environmentally conscious design, the houses display both exquisite refinement and an ingenious level of invention.
